OMG. I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABT THAT! Ur so cool. From the side. Totally. Ive thrown away so many jeans tht coulda easily been repaired. Im so mad at me. Least i know now though! Tytyty. Cool pincushion too! Ha

Thank you! Very informative tutorial. I have just started taking in projects to alter, hem, fix and my second customer asked if I could patch kid jeans. Of course I said, "Sure!" … and then frantically started searching for information on the most professional way to do it. Your video is the first of 5 that seems to be the most practical and helpful.

I'm such an idiot — I was watching you and I didn't understand (on the first part of the video) how the sewing machine knew to sew only do the front part of the pant leg.. didn't realize the side seam had been ripped – yes, I've never sewn.. ;-]

I guess that would work for kids jeans, but no adult is going to walk outside with a patch pair of jeans that size. I was under impression she was going to show how to patch it and make the patch look less noticable. Thanks for sharing, I still learned something and in the end that is what matters the most.
